Como vs Manchester United faces 'severe weather' postponement risk and possible replay date in the Champions League

28 minutes ago

Manchester United's match against Como on Wednesday evening is in danger of postponement. Manchester United's trip to Italy in the Champions League, to face the Cesc Fabregas-led Como, is in danger of postponement.

In the 24 hours before kick-off, over 6cm of rain has been forecast. The match is set to be played this Wednesday evening.

As a result, the Italian Air Force National Meteorological Service has issued a 'severe weather' warning, indicating the potential for thunderstorms. Will Manchester United vs Como be postponed?

Should the game be postponed, UEFA's regulations recommend the game to be played almost immediately after. Only one stand at Como's stadium is covered.

Rain isn't enough to worry Red Devils boss Michael Carrick, who downplayed talks of the weather causing an issue for his side in the Champions League. "No, nothing immediate from me," claimed the Englishman, when asked whether he is concerned.

We'll make the most of it. UEFA's protocol in the event of a postponement is outlined in Article 27 of the 2026/27 regulations, with Manchester United likely to face Como the following day.
